Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

Price: $11,700

Russell Westbrook has seen a nice uptick in minutes down the stretch this season, playing no fewer than 35.9 in any of his last eight games all the while averaging 37.6 per game. Unsurprisingly, that big playing time has translated to big fantasy numbers for Russ, topping 70 FanDuel points twice in those eight games, with marks of 70.3 and 62.5 in his last two contests.

Westbrook also saw his usage rate climb in March, hitting 33.9% on the month compared to 31.1% in February. In addition, his 1.47 FanDuel points per minute were also an increase from his February average.

The Thunder possess Monday's second-highest implied total (113.0 points) as they take on Golden State, and with the Dubs still starting Quinn Cook (who ranks 78th among 103 point guards in ESPN's defensive real plus-minus), Westbrook shouldn't have much trouble producing with his big workload.
